Generate classes from CSV

First Row Is Header

If this option is selected the first row of your comma separated file is assumed to be the header. The names of the properties are generated using the field values in the first row. If the option is not selected the property names are generated automatically using a numeric pattern: column 1, column 2, column 3, etc. In the latter case the first row is interpreted as raw data.

First Row is Header On

public class Model
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Department { get; set; }
    public string Manager { get; set; }
    public int Salary { get; set; }
}

First Row is Header Off

public class Model
{
    public string Column1 { get; set; }
    public string Column2 { get; set; }
    public string Column3 { get; set; }
    public string Column4 { get; set; }
}

Delimiter

The delimiter in the input CSV is specified here. In most cases the default setting Auto Detect works fine. But, in really small CSV data with delimiters also occurring as literals, the auto detection logic might not choose the correct delimiter. In such a scenario, the delimiter can be manually specified. Following are the choices for delimiters:-

• Comma
• Tab
• Space
• Pipe
• Semi-Colon

Class Name

The name of the genreated Class.

Language

The language for which you want the classes to be generated. Currently C# is the only option available. But, we intend to extend it to Java in the near future.

Generate Class Map

If selected, a CsvHelper compliant class map is generated.

Generate Class Map On

public class Person
{
    public string FullName { get; set; }
    public int age { get; set; }
}

public class PersonClassMap : ClassMap
{
    public PersonClassMap()
    {
        Map(m => m.FullName).Name("Full Name");
        Map(m => m.age).Name("age");
    }
}

Generate Class Map Off

public class Person
{
    public string FullName { get; set; }
    public int age { get; set; }
}

Property Naming Strategy

Choose the naming strategy of the generated properties. The available options are:-

Cleanse Only

public class Person
{
    public string FullName { get; set; }

    public int age { get; set; }
}

Pascal Case

public class Person
{
    public string FullName { get; set; }

    public int Age { get; set; }

Camel Case

public class Person
{
    public string fullName { get; set; }

    public int age { get; set; }
}
